Oh, these are exhaustive answers, thank you :)

So this means that every GPL'ed hello-world.c project should follow
Linux's rules "to have a good case if they are ever in court"?
And If think in this way then Barebox should create a Barebox Foundation,
hire a lawyer and wait until someone will sue them. But this is ridiculous, because
Barebox don't need this! That's why there is no Barebox Foundation with lawyer.

SOB is just a matter of "git log".

(see about GPL'ed hello-world.c)

I asked a simple question - still no use case of SOB in Barebox.
